(I’m going to apologize in advance for being harsh)
Because someone watches a movie or listens to English music they cant want a husband who is a Talmid Chacham, and wants a home surrounded with Torah?! No offence, that could be the most narrow minded thing I’ve read from you. Yes, I watch movies and yes I listen to English music (p.s. I havent for close to a week now) but what does that have to do with the warmth of Torah and a love and passion for Yiddishkeit?
The problem is that you equate Torah to Yeshivish. Yes, I am not Yeshivish! I’ll scream it from the hill tops. I dont need to label myself and fit myself into a mold in order to be called a “true eved Hash-m”. Thats the issue. Movies arent in the syllabus of Yeshivish so I must not want to have anything to do with Torah. Oh well, we just lost another one.
Ok, my rant is over.

That was out of left field 😉
